An Onondaga County grand jury Friday ruled the fatal shooting of Moses "Teish" Cannon in November was a hate crime prompted by the victim's sexual orientation.

Cannon, 22, has been described by family members as a transsexual who went by the name Latiesha "Teish" Green. Cannon often dressed in women's clothing but authorities said the victim was not wearing women's clothing on the night of the fatal shooting.
